The dogs were destroyed Friday, just two days after Gimli council decided to declare both animals dangerous. The attack occurred at about 8:15 a.m., as the boy was waiting for his bus to school Wed., March 25. The boy was waiting on Fourth Ave. for his bus when the two dogs jumped him from behind. The boy sustained injuries to his back, including severe bruising, but it could have been much worse. He was taken to Gimli Community Kelly McGouran and her son Rory after opening the Gimli Exchange Health Centre for treatment. a year ago. At the time, she told Interlake Enterprise reporter The boy was wearing a heavy Marlene Ness that she “ran an animal shelter in Texas” snowmobile jacket at the time of the attack.

He also noted that council had considered ‘relocating’ the animals but that would have only shifted the problem elsewhere, the mayor said. “The reason both dogs were put down is that we didn’t have confidence in returning those dogs to that woman,” Woroniuk said. “We had no confidence in her ability to ensure that the dogs would not become a threat to somebody else.” “We received information that she’s on the no-adopt, no-foster list nationwide in the United States. She had 30 dogs seized from her in a town in Texas.” “Plus,” he continued, “the animal control people in Gimli rescued six puppies from her property that were freezing in the cold — one pup was so frozen he couldn’t move his hind legs.” That was in December of last year. The mayor balked at relocating the animals. “That question did come up,” he said. “But it would be irresponsible for us to relocate a dog that would be a threat.” McGouran will be responsible for impound fees, euthanasia and other costs related to the attack and subsequent detainment of the two vicious dogs. According the Gimli’s animal control by law, passed in 2003, public hearings into determination if an animal should be considered dangerous must be held during regularly-scheduled council meetings. It’s unclear why the special meeting was conducted the day before a scheduled regular meeting. Woroniuk said he had no problem conducting the hearing, as required by the bylaw, during a regular meeting. However, he deferred to his colleagues who pressed him, he says, to have a special meeting instead. Municipal officials did not respond to our inquiries before press time yesterday. – Editorial Comment pg4 INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and Produced Roza Gray to succeed Cuthbert as Evergreen superintendent By Michel Forest 3 2014 AWARD WINNERS JMB & Associates Gray is also looking forward to maintaining a continued focus on helping students to develop their strengths, and exploring ways to apply these same strengths towards making the world a better place. April 15, 2015 Royal LePage JMB & Associates proudly announces its award winners for 2014, recognizing its Sales Associates who display a high level of accomplishment and dedication to their clients and to the real estate industry. As concerns her specific areas of priority in the near future, Gray had the following to say: “Next year, we will be in the third year of our three-year education plan. The focus for school and division leaders will be to collect evidence of progress in well-being, student learning and education for sustainability, and to determine where to place the division’s emphasis in the 2016-2019 education plan.” Roza Gray will succeed Paul Cuthbert as superintendent of the Evergreen School Division in August of this year. In late March the Evergreen School Division announced that effective August 4 of this year, Roza Gray will succeed Paul Cuthbert as superintendent of the school division. Prior to joining ESD, Roza was Superintendent of Programs with the Park West School Division and Superintendent of Schools in the former Pelly Trail School Division in Manitoba. Gray is a native of Hamilton, Ontario, and she studied at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON), earning a B. Sc. (Honours), Bachelor of Education and Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. She also completed a thesis in Special Education and acquired credentials in understanding student exceptionalities, individual and group counseling, and mental testing. Gray added that the provincial priorities of literacy and numeracy will also figure prominently in the division’s planning. ESD will also be revising its strategic plan for information and communication technologies (ICTs), and creating an updated student services handbook. “The division will work to support community leaders to develop employment opportunities that will attract new families to the region. We will also be encouraging people to consider becoming ‘home stay parents’ for international students who are being recruited.” “It will be a privilege to serve students and staff as superintendent, especially in Evergreen, which is viewed at the provincial level as a progressive and innovative school division.” Gray added that she was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a strong Board of Trustees and leadership team that are both dedicated to continued improvement. Gray thus brings to her new position strong beliefs concerning the importance of the student voice, and the need to involve communities in the development of its younger citizens. CATHY DANYLUK TYLER BUCKLASCHUK View all our listings at www.rlpgimli.ca ROYAL LEPAGE JMB & ASSOCIATES Declining enrolment continues to be a critical issue in ESD. In order to reverse this trend, Gray had specific ideas in mind: “Our schools continue to be open to children who are home schooled or attend private schools. As a division, we have comprehensive supports for students who struggle, outstanding music /band programs, excellent shops programs for students wishing to pursue trades, and challenging academic programs for students who will attend college and university. These programs and services are also available on a part-time basis for students who are home schooled or attending elsewhere.” Gray says that she feels honoured to have been selected for this position: DEL J.

Website: www.enterprisenews.ca By Jim Mosher The owner of two dogs which viciously attacked an eight-year-old boy in Gimli has been cited for animal abandonment and abuse in Manitoba and the United States. In posts and blogs from Texas to Florida to California to Georgia, Kelly McGouran, who rents a home in Gimli, has been described as a dog hoarder. At the time, McGouran said she would relocate to St. Andrews to pursue her ‘re-homing’ project, one that has turned out to be a nightmare in the many jurisdictions saddled with her hoarding behaviour. McGouran has bounced between Canada and the United States over the years, ever on her mission to find (Ironically, McGouran rents her homes for neglected and unwanted home from the father of the boy her dogs.

Destroying the animals is on. not alarming, though it is decidedly SANDY HOOK GOLF COURSE RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION The Sandy Hook Golf Course Ratepayers Association will hold the unpleasant. What is alarming is that Ms. McGouran continues to own ‘pets’ for which she is presumably seeking good homes. Or so her claims have gone in the past. Gimli Mayor Randy Woroniuk says Gimli’s animal control officers removed six puppies from McGouran’s property in December (reportedly there had been eleven pups in November when she started renting the house). They had been placed in a shed in late-November and, the mayor says, endured the cold in the unheated shed and outside. One hopes Gimli will move to bar Ms. McGouran owning any animals. It may be technically difficult to do that but there must be the will. Dogs and cats are thinking, feeling creatures, they deserve all the love, care and nurturing we afford to sentient creatures. Domestic pets may not think like us but sometimes, I can assure you, they have greater insight into the workings of the universe than we do. They deserve to be protected. News Tips?

By Teresa Carey A water festival, organized by the East Interlake Conservation District (EICD), West Interlake Conservation District (WICD) and Oak Hammock Marsh, was held at the Rubber Ducky Resort near Warren, June 4. A carnival barker would be fully justified if he used this pitch to draw attention to the 100th anniversary celebrations of the Gimli Public School 1915. There is urgency to register for the celebrations on the June 2628 weekend partly because of the advancing years of many of the thousands of pupils who attended the school between its opening in 1915 and closing in 1974. While the school is long gone, the 2nd Ave building still lives on as the headquarters of Gimli Council and several government agencies after being completely refurbished by Gimli Heritage Committee in the early 1990s. “It is a one-time opportunity because it is unlikely to ever be done again,” says celebrations chair May Peiluck with the full agreement of three of her 20 committee members who sat in on a recent interview. “It’s also affordable - only $75 for the whole weekend.” Your Source for Community News – Locally Owned and “This year we teamed up with the West Interlake Conservation District so we could hold a festival on the edges of the two watershed boundaries,” said EICD manager, Armand Belanger. “We also received a lot of support from the staff and student volunteers from the St. Laurent School and Woodlands Elementary School” Belanger added. The Rubber Ducky Resort proved to be the ideal location for the festival because of its proximity to both schools taking part in the festival; in addition to the amenities the resort was able to offer students--a fish pond, sheltered area and washrooms. Seventy five Grades 1-5 Woodlands Elementary school students attended in the morning followed by 83 Grades K-6 St. Laurent students in the afternoon. New for this year was a sediment runoff simulator, which consisted of three water jugs cut open lengthwise. Each contained either dirt, dirt with leafs and sticks, or dirt with healthy native grass growing on top. The jugs were angled and water poured on top. The the excess water was collect in a clear cup at the bottom. F w te w cl ab w At this station students observed the final water quality in each of the three scenarios demonstrating how soils, dirt or other things can end up in water bodies after it rains or floods. The station was designed to teach how people can reduce the amount of dirt or debris that ends up in our water by caring for the land appropriately, Belanger explained. M al Habitat, furs and watershed stations were other stops where students experienced different animal features. At a food chain station students made necklaces that illustrate who eats whom in the food chain using pictures of creatures and plants in the order that they are consumed.

Nowadays, at most levels of hockey, the natural order of things seems to tend towards leagues having four or five top teams that year in and year out contend for first place overall, and then go on to compete in intense, closely fought playoff series. In the Keystone Junior Hockey League (KJHL), for example, the top four teams finished within eight points of each other at the conclusion of a 32-game schedule. Just this past week, the final series between the Selkirk Fishermen and the Peguis Juniors culminated in a winner-takeall game 7. And that season ended last Friday evening not with a whimper, but a big bang as an all-out brawl erupted between the fierce rivals. 2 As a result, Gimli was playing with more ‘Import’ players than permitted by league rules, and lost four points in the standings, thanks to Hill’s honesty in the matter with league authorities. So instead of finishing the season with a record of 12 wins and four losses, the Wolves were 106, yet still prevailed atop the overall MSHL standings. Gimli Wolves GM Doug Hill says that next year may be an even better one for the MSHL champs. (PHOTO: MICHEL FOREST) This year, the Gimli Wolves were clearly the best team in the Manitoba Senior Hockey League (MSHL), finishing atop the overall standings, despite forfeiting two games as a result of a very unusual situation. Indeed, before Christmas it turned out that two players then on the Wolves roster (two brothers who GM Hill sanguine about prospects for 2015-16 season “And don’t forget that at this level of hockey, besides injuries, you’re often playing with a short bench – nine, ten or twelve guys – because many players have jobs and families, they’re going to school, and so on,” he added. Many hockey observers were of the opinion that this is the best team the MSHL has seen in several years. “Well, when you’re on top of the heap, a lot of players want to come and play for you, and right now we’re looking at four or five guys who will want to come up here if they don’t make the Manitoba Bisons,” Hill said. Hill told the Enterprise at the beginning of the season that he wouldn’t be surprised if the Wolves went undefeated in 2014-15. Turns out he wasn’t far off the mark. By four games, if one discounts the two forfeited games. Hill said that last week in Morden (at the Manitoba Cup), someone asked him, “What you feedin’ those guys up there in Gimli?” “If we had held on to those two boys and McDaniels, we might have gone undefeated this year,” said Hill. “These three guys were all really talented players,” he added. The Wolves will be playing against Minnedosa this Friday at the IcePlex in Winnipeg as the Manitoba Cup tournament continues. 43 MAIN STREET SELKIRK November 5, 2014The INTERLAKE ENTERPRISE Hill’s answer: “Fish, that’s why they’re so fast and slippery.” TOLL FREE 855-785-8001 INTERLAKES LARGEST PRE-OWNED DEALERSHIP 2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS 49000km $30,943 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan SE/SXT 59000km $13,943 2011 Chevrolet Traverse 1LT 2013 Chrysler Town & Country 2008 Dodge Caliber SXT 2010 Jeep Patriot North 4x4 AWD 65000km $19,943 Touring 75000km $19,943 39000km $10,943 Best Car Loan & Financing Deals in Selkirk, Manitoba 2013 Ford F150 STX Super Cab NO PAYMENTS for 3 MONTHS 2012 Ford F150 XLT XTR Super 45000km $22,943 Crew 58000km $25,943 2013 Fusion Titanium AWD 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 17000km $25,843 117000km $12,943 119000km $9,443 Z71 77000km $27,943 2012 GMC Sierra SLT EXT AWD 64800km $24,443 2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2LT 2011 GFX Silverado LT 5.3 Crew 96000km $25,943 2009 Jeep Compass Rocky Mtn 2012 Ford F150 XLT Supercab 2012 Ford F150 XTR Supercrew 55000km $27,943 4x4 118000km $11,943 17000km $21,943 WE FINANCE!

Bezan and Harper sink more money into coast guard By Roger Newman 1st BIRTHDAY The Canadian Coast Guard and the Federal Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans will receive approximately $551 million from the Harper Government’s $5.8 billion infrastructure fund over the next two years. Standing behind a podium hastilycovered with Canadian and coast guard flags, Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan made this important and welcome announcement last Thursday afternoon at a press conference in front of the coast guard station at Gimli Wharf. Ashton Zubriski Happy 1st birthday to our special grandson Love Baba and Gigi IN MEMORY JOYCE JOHNSON God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be So He put his arms around you and whispered “Come With Me”. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Forever loved and missed, Gerri & family “This infrastructure investment from the government will allow the dedicated men and women of the Canadian Coast Guard to continue the high level of service relied upon by so many boaters and fishers,” said Bezan, the parliamentary secretary for national defence who was appropriately supported by the four members of Gimli’s coast guard station in full dress uniform. currently assessing the needs of the Gimli station. There is absolutely no truth, however, to the rumour that the prime minister will use coast guard money to buy an anchor for Mike Duffy. Despite a lack of substance at the press conference, Bezan was in good voice, delivering a stirring speech suitable for a patriot gearing up for an election campaign. It compared favourably with his address a while back when he officially opened new washrooms at the Gimli Legion without any leaks in advance. “Safety on our waters is a government priority,” Bezan intoned. “The new funding will ensure the coast guard has modern and appropriate facilities and equipment to keep Lake Winnipeg boaters and fishers safe.” The Gimli Coast Guard station, meanwhile, is gearing up for another April to November season of combining search and rescue with Bezan added to the auspicious oc- installing and maintaining aids to casion by saying that the infrastruc- navigation on Lake Winnipeg. ture money will pay for the installation of three fuel storage tanks at the Currently, the station’s cutter and Selkirk base.

Right out of the gate, we’ll crack down on the elite who think they’re entitled to two wives. We’ll strictly enforce the ban on bigamy in contrast to the Liberals who would tolerate it and the NDP who would make it mandatory. I’m going to tell you something about my background so you can make an informed choice in the polling booth. I grew up in a poor family where my father had deep pockets filled with lint. After he drowned when his long toenails pierced the family waterbed, I financed my own education at Marquis de Sade University where I studied computer science until my computer was taken away as a condition of sentence. I was an outstanding member of the de Sade paddling team and also played football where I learned a valuable life lesson. When you get into trouble, you should drop back five yards and punt so that the ball is in the other court. I’m running for federal office, I’ll work to ensure that everything is a provincial responsibility. If that doesn’t fly, I’ll vote to establish a committee to study every major issue for at least five years. Although I am a politician, I am of sound mind and have a certificate from Selkirk to prove it. Like all Conservatives, my platform calls for jobs, jobs, jobs, especially for my friends and relatives. Since Hope I have made my case and eliminated the need for robo calls to send you to the wrong polls. Like all good Conservatives, get out and vote for me early and often. .As a true right winger, I’ll bring a touch of evangelism to office, reminding everybody that if English was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for everybody. There is no reason for people to be cross hot buns and contend that there is more than one religion in the world. I can even prove to dyslexic agnostics that there is a dog. You’ll find me inspirational too.. Remember time will tell, whatever happens, happens and it will all come out in the wash. The future lies ahead and be confident that the young people of today will be the adults of tomorrow. Did you know?
